Installing vFabric Web Server

vFabric Web Server is available only as part of vFabric Cloud
Application Platform, which in turn runs only on vSphere. This means that
you install vFabric Web Server on virtual machines that run on the vCenter
Server. These VMs can run Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu Linux, or Windows
operating systems. Each type of operating system requires its own
installation procedure.

Use the yum search vfabric command to view the list
of vFabric components that you can install from the VMware repository.
The vFabric Web Server RPM is called
vfabric-web-server.

Procedure

From the RHEL VM on which you will install vFabric Web Server,
log in as the root user.

Execute the following yum command:

prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server

The yum command begins the install process,
resolves dependencies, and displays the packages it plans to
install.

The yum command automatically chooses the
appropriate RPM package based on your architecture (32- or 64-bit).
You can also install the RPM with a particular architecture by
specifying the appropriate suffix. For example, to install the 64-bit
RPM:

prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server.x86_64

Enter y at the prompt to begin the actual
installation.

If the installation is successful, you will see a
Complete! message at the end.
